Desc : James Baldwin grew disillusioned by the failure of the
civil rights movement to force America to confront its lies
about race. In our own moment, when that confrontation feels
more urgently needed than ever, what can we learn from his
struggle?In the midst of an ugly Trump regime and a beautiful
Baldwin revival, Eddie Glaude has plunged to the profound depths
and sublime heights of Baldwin's prophetic challenge to our
present-day crisis.--Cornel WestWe live, according to Eddie S.
Glaude Jr., in a moment when the struggles of Black Lives Matter
and the attempt to achieve a new America have been challenged by
the election of Donald Trump, a president whose victory
represents yet another failure of America to face the lies it
tells itself about race. From Charlottesville to the policies of
child separation at the border, his administration turned its
back on the promise of Obama's presidency and refused to embrace
a vision of the country shorn of the insidious belief that white
people matter more than others.We have been here before: For
James Baldwin, these after times came in the wake of the civil
rights movement, when a similar attempt to compel a national
confrontation with the truth was answered with the murders of
Medgar Evers, Malcolm X, and Martin Luther King, Jr. In these
years, spanning from the publication of The Fire Next Time in
1963 to that of No Name in the Street in 1972, Baldwin
transformed into a more overtly political writer, a change that
came at great professional and personal cost. But from that
journey, Baldwin emerged with a sense of renewed purpose about
the necessity of pushing forward in the face of disillusionment
and despair.In the story of Baldwin's crucible, Glaude suggests,
we can find hope and guidance through our own after times, this
Trumpian era of shattered promises and white retrenchment.
Mixing biography--drawn partially from newly uncovered
interviews--with history, memoir, and trenchant analysis of our
current moment, Begin Again is Glaude's endeavor, following
Baldwin, to bear witness to the difficult truth of race in
America today. It is at once a searing exploration that lays
bare the tangled web of race, trauma, and memory, and a powerful
interrogation of what we all must ask of ourselves in order to
call forth a new America.
